I've recreated things as you say, and my groupings are sorted correctly, both in the old and new version of the MLO Desktop.
Have you tried recreating a similar tree and seeing what happens? What I did was c/p your list of Roles into RTE, then duplicated them so that I had two copies, made one copy of each into a folder, then moved each of the others into their folder so I had a Folder under Roles named Admin that had a task called "Admin", etc. Lisa On Thu, Sep 8, 2011 at 1:08 AM, Jill <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi there, > > I'm have defined a top level task called "Roles".
